Perpetual, Fixed-Term, and PAYG — three commercial options for organizations running TR7 on their own applications and their own infrastructure.
Enterprise licensing covers end-user organizations that use TR7 to publish, protect, and manage their own corporate applications. These models are not feature tiers; they are three different ways to license the same TR7 platform, matched to different budget and usage approaches.
The Perpetual License grants indefinite usage rights for organizations that prefer a long-term CapEx investment. The Fixed-Term License provides a predictable OpEx model with ActiveOps included for a defined period. PAYG is designed for environments that want flexible billing by active usage hour on virtual deployments.
Which model fits is decided by your budget approach, deployment type, expected usage duration, and capacity-flexibility needs.
The same TR7 platform. Three different commercial usage models.
Perpetual offers long-term ownership; Fixed-Term offers a defined-period subscription; PAYG offers flexible usage for virtual and variable workloads. The product family stays the same; what changes is the way you pay and renew.
Each model is built on the same platform family; what differs is how capacity is purchased, how it is renewed, and how operational scope is sustained.
One-time investment · Indefinite usage rights
Grants indefinite usage rights for the chosen capacity and product scope. ActiveOps is included for the first year; in subsequent years, ActiveOps can be renewed for updates, security fixes, and support. Best fit for long-term, ownership-oriented, CapEx-funded deployments.
Defined-period subscription · ActiveOps included
Grants TR7 usage rights and ActiveOps coverage together for a defined license period. Best fit for organizations that want to reduce up-front cost, run on an OpEx budget, or align licensing with a project's duration.
Active-hour-based usage · For virtual deployments
Bills virtual TR7 deployments by active usage hour. Best fit for PoCs, dev/test, temporary capacity, variable traffic, and scenarios that need cloud-like elasticity. ActiveOps coverage is included for the usage period.
The commercial model reflects how the organization funds and uses TR7; it does not redefine the core capability of the product family.
Perpetual, Fixed-Term, and PAYG let you use the TR7 platform with different payment and renewal shapes. Which products and add-ons are unlocked is decided separately by the chosen bundle and license scope.
ActiveOps covers software updates, security fixes, support, and operational continuity. Perpetual ships with the first year of ActiveOps; Fixed-Term and PAYG include ActiveOps throughout the active period.
When you move from PAYG to Fixed-Term, or Fixed-Term to Perpetual, the goal is to convert the commercial model while preserving the existing architecture. Final scope is determined by contract, deployment type, and current license state.
When picking a licensing model, ask three questions: how long will you use TR7, how variable is your capacity need, and is your budget CapEx or OpEx? The Enterprise Configurator turns those answers into a concrete proposal across bandwidth, product bundle, support, and add-ons.
Pricing axes, ActiveOps coverage, supported deployment models, and migration mechanics may vary by appliance class, region, term length, and contract scope. For accurate, deployment-specific coverage, refer to the relevant model pages, the Licensing Guide, and the Enterprise Configurator.
